    mini drag bike build questions.

    This is all my personal opinion 1) the lighter the rear tire/wheel, the less force it takes to rotate it. Smaller wheels will let the engine rev up faster. 5" are ok, but 6" are good too. Any bigger and you will be at a disadvantage i think 2) chain size isnt too important, as long as clutch...

    Baja front suspension replacement???

    Thats about as far as i got. Now my forks leak out of the bottom and the seal that needs to be replaced :surrender: My thought is to maybe impact the bottom off, hoping that the impact wrench will do the trick

    Flat Track Racing Engine, Help Me Choose Parts

    Currently getting rotating assembly balanced at NR racing. I got the wiseco 3 ring and it has just a tiny bit of pop up, which is NICE!!! The lifters barely had any clearance to the block, but ther was a bit of wiggle room there, and the rod was already clearanced as built, so that was nice as...

    Baja Warrior Build - Drag Race Build

    yep, so i ran the bike a lot and got it up to speed (60-65ish mph) it has too much torque for the driven unit on the torque converter when it is in 'overdrive' so the belt slips on the driven unit. I will see about increasing driven spring tension to keep more clamping force on the belt I also...

    Carter Brothers Shortster - Who has one, and can i get a pic of how the seat attaches

    Okay, going with some bright colors here. Black, green, and orange will eventually be what I paint the bike with. The seat came out okay. I couldn't get the back part to look right, but the rest looks good! Thanks again for the pics doc. Helped out a bunch.

    Carter Brothers Shortster - Who has one, and can i get a pic of how the seat attaches

    Doc! Oh my gosh, yes that helps a ton! Looks like you have added a few things to yours, the windscreen and saddle bags make it look even more like a legit motorcycle. This is a pretty ugly mini bike, i do agree with that. I just like the ugly of it though. That, and it has decent tires for dirt...

    Best Carb for my mild modified 212cc hemi predator engine ?

    Id make returning the carb your #1 priority. So pretty much everyone agrees that the 22mm carb is the way to go on the gx200/predator 212. If you are doing an open build (you know the ones where you have a race kart that ONLY runs at 5-9k rpm, then the 27/28mm carbs would be good for ONLY high...

    Carter Brothers Shortster - Who has one, and can i get a pic of how the seat attaches

    I picked up a carter brothers shortster a couple of weeks ago, and am getting around to the seat. I have seen pictures of the bike and one video on youtube, but i cant see how the seat is attached. Now, i have done a few seats in the past, and I get the whole T-nut thing, but this frame is a...

    shocks bottoming out

    Hi all, I have a Baja Warrior (black one with plastic gas tank). The shocks bottom out, bad, like bad enough for the fender bolts to scrape the tread every time it bottoms out. I recently put about 51 cc's of Lucas 15 weight synthetic fork oil in my Baja Heat front forks (different...
